14: ‘Prisoners’ Starring Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano
This week on Reel Spoilers we take Prisoners… or take no Prisoners? Take on Prisoners? Hmmm… give me a second here. I’m trying to come up with some clever wordplay. But the movie is a gritty thriller about child abduction so all of our clever puns are pretty offensive. Even to us. And that’s saying […]

Movie Review: ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ Starring Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman
While not perfect, Olympus Has Fallen is a great popcorn flick that action-junkies will love. Director Antoine Fuqua gets the most out of a strong cast, which makes up for a weak plot and at times shoddy CGI effects. The premise of the film is pretty simple. Gerard Butler stars as Mike Banning, a demoted […]

Movie Review: ‘Flight’ Starring Denzel Washington
Is it a flaw when characters are almost too real? The shock value of Denzel Washington’s Whip Whitaker is astounding, made possible in part by the visceral performance of Washington. It’s never easy to watch a man spiral out of control, especially when you sympathize with him in odd ways. Whitaker is a veteran airline […]

Another Take By Zac: Film Review: The Fighter
The Fighter is a fine character study mixed in with a nice little true life sports movie that I can’t help but feel didn’t reach its potential or bar set by its peers. Following the last attempt of Mickey Ward to win a boxing title we dive into the people around him and shape him […]
Tim Reviews “The Fighter” Starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams
I love watching movie trailers. I immediately have to see the newest ones when they hit the web, and I pride myself on my ability to name the movie within seconds of the trailer. I am a movie geek, so what. Unfortunately, most trailers these days show you almost the full story within those 2 […]
